We have a beach home which we are doing significant renovations to and need help with exterior colors.
The house is currently SW aquatint with potentially purple shutters and accents.
Are coastal / island exterior color schemes something you would be interested and comfortable helping with?

I have a beach house that is painted a medium to dark gray with dark green shutters and white trim. I want to punch it up with a brightly colored front door. I am debating between sherwin williams blue sky and sherwin williams aqueduct. I worry that the aqueduct might be too bright. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Hi lisa,
I’ve been racking my brain over color for the exterior house color for weeks now. I need help I’m torn between being different, which is who i am. Or being safe, so as not to make the neighbors crazy. Honestly, their houses are so boring and i want something fun and fresh that isn’t going to be hard to look at in a couple years i thought pink, aqua, or something in between. My house is a 1967 rancher with vintage charm and has an orangy gravel front yard and a gray roof. Ugh, can u.help? I like coastal plain But after trying i thought not poppy enough. I like waterscape but then it was too minty . I tried watery..too blue. I thought carly’s rose, composed, vintage vessel, blue sky, reflecting pool. My house does have a garage but.it.also has two textures in the front. A stone veneer (which i hate the colors of…oranges tan n gray mortar. And a stucco that looks like siding horizontal and then the other sides n back are just a patterned stucco.
I live in florida close to the gulf and tarpon springs in a community where all the houses are one level with varying design.
New blood is moving in with and the feel is changing and I’d like to.be part of the change. I think outside the box.
In cambridge md i have a house and uses grizzle gray with somewhat of a pink door
I hope you feel where im coming from.
Thanks
Debi
